OSX is properly installed on the first <8 gig partition. OSX is booting
properly. OSX can ONLY be installed on Beige G3s on the first <8 gig
partition. It will not install in any other configuration.
This her setup:
Master- Partition 1: 7.1 gigs, OSX installed
Partition 2: 52 gigs, OS 9.2.2 installed
Slave- 4 gigs, OS 9.2.2 installed.
And if I understand what you told me on the phone:
Booting from OSX gives you all drives and all partitions.
Booting from OS9 on the 4 gig drive gives you Slave drive and OSX partition.
OS9 on partition 2 will not boot.
Correct?
